At least 12 people have died in the Poonch and Rajouri districts of India's Jammu and Kashmir region after flash floods and landslides triggered by heavy monsoon rainfall. Authorities said rescue operations remain under way.
The mountainous districts face frequent landslide risk during the monsoon season. Heavy rain has blocked roads, making it difficult for rescue teams to reach some affected villages.
Local officials said efforts are under way to deliver aid to affected families and repair damaged infrastructure. Weather agencies have warned that further rainfall is likely in the region over the coming days.
